Plot

Aalamarathaar (Radha Ravi) is dreaded by his enemies in Aattuthotti in Madurai. He involves in ‘katta panchayat’ but strives to do his best for the people in the neighborhood. He is adored and respected by everyone there.

He is assisted by his son Azhagar aka Kutty (Harikumar) and son-in-law. Gomathi (Karthika Adaikalam) is Kutty’s niece who loves him madly, which he does not reciprocate. Local MP Cutout Ganesan (Kathal Dhandapani) and DIG (Raj Kapoor) are both keen to bump off Aalamaram and Kutty.

Enters a woman cop Caroline Thomas (Anuya Bhagvath). She meets Kuttym and love blossoms between them. But it is revealed that she uses him just to shoot down Aalamaran, so Caroline kills Aalamaran. When Kutty comes to know about Caroline's evil nature, he plays along with her for the right time to take revenge. One night, Caroline invited Kutty to her house and seduces him in order to make him stop underworld crimes for her, but he refused, yet they end up in making love. After the sex, the next morning, when Caroline comes to her senses and realizes her mistake, she attempts to shoot Kutty, but he kills her and tells her that he knows all her plans.

Critical reception

Indiaglitz wrote "All said, `Madurai Sambavam', has some loose ends. But forget the logic, you an enjoy this earthy entertainer."[2] The Hindu wrote "Enough action and good performances are provided by the lead pair and Radha Ravi not to mention a nice cameo by Anand Babu but director Eureka has not made full use of these aspects, the climax proving a spoilsport."[3] B. Balaji wrote "Madurai Sambavam is another movie that features a rowdy as the hero. While most of those movies have the hero romance the heroine and clash with a cop, this one makes those two the one and the same person. The issues that this throws up ensure that the movie cannot be dismissed outright but the fact that those issues haven't been explored very convincingly or interestingly ensures that the film doesn't stand out much either."[4]
